Live In Japan
Like everything else about their career these days, this DVD from FLOTSAM AND JETSAM is a decidedly low-budget affair. Plain-jane packaging, a 45-minute concert with one video from the new record tacked on as the sole "bonus", and a poorly-lit show filmed with two, maybe three stationary cameras — t...July 2, 2006

Acts of Insanity
Here is a group that was not about to play around with clever band titles that lend an air of mystery to the musical style. The terms "speed," "kill," and "hate" sum up pretty well the heavy thrash of this sonic punch in the nose. Considering the blue collar, no-frills approach, it will come as ...June 12, 2006

Kvass
This is a wonderful album. Sorry, but it is the first line that comes to mind every time I think about "Kvass" from Norway's KAMPFAR. The folk-pagan-Viking (you know the deal) black metal of KAMPFAR is well constructed, memorable, and powerful. Largely eschewing the black metal genre's predilection...May 15, 2006
